You Can Not See Their Last Seen or Online Status
- After you checked that the profile picture of that your WhatsApp contact has disappeared, the next thing you can check is their “last seen” or “online”.

Because of privacy concern WhatsApp will hide this information from you and you will not be able to see the online status or last seen anymore.
- You can also won’t be able to see the “last seen” or “online” status, incase if you or that particular WhatsApp contact has their last seen privacy setting set to “Nobody,”
Single Tick on Sent Messages
- You can also put your assumptions to the test by sending a message to that WhatsApp contact to whom you have doubts that they have blocked you. Any messages sent to a contact who has blocked you, will only see a single tick on it. That means the message has been sent but WhatsApp will not delivered the message to the blocked contact. All the messages you have sent to that person will stay single-ticked, even after they unblock you later.
- Incase, the person has disabled their data connection or switched off their phone, then also you will see single tick on your sent messages.
Any Calls You Attempt to Them Will Fail
- Another way to check if someone blocked you on WhatsApp is by calling them on WhatsApp call. If someone who has blocked you, if you call them you will see the “Calling”and it won’t turn to “Ringing” text on the calling screen. Because WhatsApp will prevent the call from being connected.
- But, incase the suspected person is not in the area of data connectivity, then also call will not connect.
So, before going to any conclusions, you should check all the above signs and if you see most of these signs are positive for the contact you have suspected, then it is likely that they have blocked you. But, one thing you should remember that above signs are not the definitive proof.
